Definitely lower turnout on both sides but I think biden will hold on to his margins in total

The coming dem campaign against Arab Americans and Muslims in general will convert some reactionaries who soured on Trump the last 4 years, while Trump will still be talking about the "steal" and court minutiae

That sounds more realistic to me. Biden could win and he could hold his margins. I just doubt he does better, if he does win. I agree that overall the "steal" and court shit aren't great angles for Trump to maintain appeal to the Republican party as a whole. I'm not sure they'll pick up the swing reactionaries though
